not likely part of the original design.
My fwd hatches have SS bars over the glass, as drunk protection. Yours may be something along those lines, added by a PO. I don't think protection from heavy seas is required, as the glass is safety glass, 2 layers of 1/8" with a membrane between, so plenty of strength for seas, but not enough to keep a misplaced elbow out of trouble.
